Why Africans/Nigerians are so hateful?

 Why Africans/ Nigerians are so hateful?

 

Sometimes I wonder, Are Nigerians so jobless? spending  their enormous valuable hours on yahoo groups trashing each other 24/7 especially in a country where people are been paid heavily per hour their jobs,  what gets into an average African/ or Nigerian's head?  So hateful, disrespectful  and resentful of one another for no reasons but showing off narcissistic effects and staged realism,  why Nigerians are always filled with rage, angers, bitterness and sometimes prefer to abhor ethnical indifferences of their past to move reclusively to their future to nowhere. I have watched this forum religiously for over 9 yrs, what are the benefits though beside the mastery arts of bringing each others down? History is a great thing but you can't allow it to define  and rewind your presence and live rent free in your head day by day be it Biafra or Wetie . Sometimes I appraise the passion that comes with it but you cannot be carried away with it absentmindedly. You cannot make a tea party omelette without expecting to  break some eggheads along with it. When an account on history is to be made, they will be mistakes irredeemably made from both left & right and there is nothing to it, either move on or let it bury you. Some Nigerians with good hearts likes Dr. Ola Kassim, Gen. Ishola Williams, Ozodi, Ogbonna, Adejuwon, Chuks, Otunoye, Aduba, Pastor Emeka Egbe, Aluko, Igitseme,  Odumakins  and so on (just to mention a few) are been slaughtered and castigated for no just cause while majority seating and hiding in despair behind their keyboards enjoying the unjust tirade. What are we made of ? A collection of brilliant minds or grumpy old men that have no regards for sanctity of life. What you do today becomes history tomorrow, Do you ever think in 10 years to come, someone ( your sons and daughters) might be interested in reading all these hateful and tribal bigotry threads on web  simply searching goggle on their project on Nigeria and suddenly stomped on your hateful innuendoes , and there you have it ? Do you want them to pick it where you left it off? Old man? As  ignorant as some of us might be, anything you write on Internet are permanently archived, www make it permanently on the web as a  record. There are a lot of ways to get lost in Chicago, being Nigerians is one of it. When you are angry with someone, he lives rent free in your head for years as long as that anger remains in your tiny little souls, you are the victim not the other guy, you probably don't know it. Why do we worry so much on what we do not have control on ? Oduah gate!!!!, Fani-Kayode Palaver!!!!, Ogwuonye Watergate!!! or on cat fight of who owns Lagos or Abuja rigmarole? it's sad, when some of you cannot even claim ownership of your own father's compound!!!   It bothers me when people still deliberate on Ojukwu & Awolowo takes on Biafra to date, for all I care,  when did you see children  of these two great individuals, who probably will never remain poor from their generation to generation, coming out here to your gathering of disintellectual  satire group and fight this loosing web battle, an average Nigeria is a loose cannon, on a boat with a senile captain, with no destination on lost voyage. Why is issue of unfortunate Biafra war, that many innocent people lost their souls both sides becomes a laughing stocks of other heartless cliques, this is not ways to consecrate the deads on unfair Nigeria/ Biafra civil war of 1967 -1975 that separated families, children without fathers, uncountable widows, who benefits more   besides bunch of web big-mouthed culprits, tyrants like you folks who are jobless orchestrating hatred, and woe  24/7 while seeking undue popularity on the web, advertently  hidden but cowardly behind keyboards,  or sometimes throw invisible punches on your faceless yahoogroup fora enemies. Now you folks probably  drawn Dr. Valentine Ojo to hypertensive stage, he shows up no more on your gossip suya fora, you beginning to clamoring for his comeback, how retarded?   Do we ever reset? Look back and watch Chinese or Indian Diaspora creatively adding values to their fatherland? How long do you want to remain victim of Biafra, Awolowo, Sardauna circumstances before you get it right?  What does it takes? When you are six feet under?   What have you individually contributed to add value or make changes to Nigeria inadequacies adding value wise? If you want to be recognized adequately, you have to develop self restraint, naked aggression or name calling  is a sign of weakness and it makes you look pugnacious. Don't get me wrong though, I will not be politically correct to say the least that there is "No good discussion or moments" that sometime ensued on this forum, but one will expect it is the right atonement to follow not otherwise. When the only tool you have is hammer, every problem you encounter looks like nails. We need to deconstruct ourselves from our perverted tribal egos, or from morally emptiness, with undue conception of what is not a true sense bearer of Nigeria identity.  I know many good Nigerians, ivy leaguers or non ivy leaguers, entrepreneurs in their own rights, corporate counterparts, straight intellectual shooters that work 24/7 with creative thinking looking for better ways to make landmarks in sand of time, good example will be a good friend likes of  decent, Phil  Emeagwali an internet guru. It takes a creative mind to develop a nation. I'm in view of our intellectual dishonesty, evidenced by our self contradiction everyday on the fora. When you wrestle with a pig, you get dirty and pig laugh back at you because he enjoy it and you dont. What makes evil men to succeed is for few good men to remain silent. when is enough, enough? Commonalities can be a big common problem if unchecked.
